Winemaker Notes
The 2021 Joseph Drouhin Meursault 1er Cru "Perrières" Blanc is an extraordinarily luminous, mid-lemon yellow Chardonnay born from a notoriously challenging, low-yielding Burgundy vintage. On the nose, it initially presents a quiet, tight profile of citrus and stone that slowly blossoms with sweet oak spices, grilled almonds, and preserved white fruits. The palate carries less of the usual opulent weight found in warmer years, instead trading it for a sleek, silky texture that beautifully frames a core of stewed apple, lemon tart, and a distinct mineral edge. Driven by the vintage's characteristically bright, high acidity, the wine delivers a striking freshness and a long, lightly structured, toasty finish. While its signature Perrières mineralité and sharp tension feel a bit stern and closed in its youth, a few years of bottle age will allow its subtle depth and consummate elegance to fully unlock.
About Winery
Maison Joseph Drouhin was founded in 1880 in Beaune, Burgundy, by Joseph Drouhin, and has since grown into one of the region’s most respected wine producers. Over the generations, the family expanded its holdings to include vineyards across Burgundy—such as Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise—and later established Domaine Drouhin Oregon in the Willamette Valley. Today, the estate remains family-run by Joseph’s great-grandchildren, who continue the tradition of producing elegant wines with a focus on terroir and sustainable practices, including organic certification for their Burgundy vineyards since 2009
